The No Gives Farm

Got a little patch of dirt out past the barn Used to be full of fresh give-a-darns Planted them deep with my worrying hands Watered them daily with everybody's demands Boss man's drumming neighbors fights Friends calling me at 2 a.m. nights One by one those give-a-darns died Now it's just dust where my cares used to rise So I hit that field with a brand new plan But the soil just laughed at this worn-out man Welcome to the Nogiz Farm Where the ground is dry and the heart's gone calm Tried to sow some really cares in the spring But not a single little give a rip sprung up this year Not one thing, and I got rows and rows of used distress Now it's tumbleweeds that couldn't care less Yeah, I tried to grow concern by the farm But nothing takes root on the Nogiz Farm Bought a brand new bag of maybe I should Spread it on thick like a good man would Even call the dark ass what's wrong with me He's the son that's just bound for beans growing free I fertilize with overtime, sleepless nights, crops still fail But my back fell tight, check that field at the break of dawn Just one little sprout of man and then it was gone So I shrug kick dirt off my worn out boots Said I guess around here, apathy's the only thing that does Welcome to the No-Gives Farm Where the words gone and souls to harm Tried to plant some old nose in a neat straight line But the ground spit them out like boy they ain't worth your time I got acres fully used to care Now it's wildflowers blowing leave it there Yeah, I tried to grow concern by the barn But it just won't sprout Still grow love for my kids and my wife Still grow thanks for this blessed little life But gossip drama, fake alarm, that seed dies quick On the no-gives farm So welcome to the no-gives farm Where my field of stress is fine about the farm If it ain't fate for your friends, I'm on backyard It don't get planted in this hard, no, not that hard I got one good crop in this piece I've grown, let the rest blow off like chefison, yeah If you're looking for my give-or-don, sorry partner We're all sold out On the no-gives farm you
